Coast to Coast
Rich Ard said:No progress to speak of this weekend as I was out at my dad's helping him condense his belongings into a 24' truck (not successful, but it was a close thing).
I am ready to start tuning my big Edelbrock flatslide carb, though. I have been wanting a remote fuel tank for a while, though, so while I was out talking on the phone yesterday afternoon I discovered that a 16mm male petcock threads right in to a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil.
I put an o-ring on the petcock and threaded it in, cut the bottom off the bottle and put it back in upside down with a pull on it, and mounted it on a beam in the garage. Need to do valves and then we'll see if that carb does its job.
Braided brake line and clutch cable are on as well; somehow I've lost the clip that holds the speedometer cable into the gearing on the front wheel, if any of you XV guys has one sitting around.
ill check tonight in my box of shit parts if I have that clip for you.
